ANKARA, Nov 6 — Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr on Thursday declared a state of emergency over the devastation caused by Typhoon Kalmaegi, which has killed 114 people and left 127 missing, according to the latest figures.
According to Anadolu Ajansi, the decision was made during a briefing at the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, based on an official statement from the presidential office.
Marcos said the declaration will accelerate rescue, relief, and rehabilitation efforts, allowing faster access to emergency funds and streamlined procurement processes.
“Because of the scope of, shall we say, problem areas that have been hit by Tino and will be hit by (Typhoon) Uwan, there was a proposal from the council, which I approved, that we will declare a national calamity,” Marcos said.
He added that 10 to 12 regions are expected to be affected by the twin typhoons as the country also prepares for Typhoon Uwan.
Diego Mariano, deputy spokesperson for the Office of Civil Defence, said 82 people were injured in Central Visayas, the worst-hit region, local media outlet The Inquirer reported.
The powerful typhoon, locally known as Typhoon Tino, tore off roofs, uprooted trees and utility poles, and caused massive flooding.
Kalmaegi exited the country Thursday morning, but it continues to bring rain to parts of Luzon and the Mindanao region, according to the country’s weather agency.
More than 500,000 people have been displaced, with over 1.4 million affected in the Central Visayas region, including parts of Cebu province.
Heavy flooding and landslides have also cut off roads in remote areas, while several municipalities experienced power outages, authorities said.
The devastation comes after a powerful 6.9-magnitude earthquake struck Cebu on September 30, killing many and displacing thousands.
Authorities said relief efforts are ongoing as rescue teams work to reach remote areas cut off by floodwaters and landslides.
Typhoon Kalmaegi made two landfalls in the Visayas region early Tuesday, first in Southern Leyte and then in Cebu.
It is expected to regain strength over the South China Sea before heading towards Vietnam, where authorities are preparing for its arrival on Friday. — Bernama-Anadolu
